5 pages this week!
now for the big revelation you’ve all been waiting for! the word i asked you to look for in lumi’s story was:

hrimfaxi!

on page 2.11, sindri accuses lumi of killing her first familiar, suul, in the same way that he killed his familiar hrimfaxi. on page 2.46, the name of sindri’s familiar is revealed. a few people who were paying close attention and had good memories remembered this and put two and two together ;D good job guys!

fun facts: “hrimfaxi” is the name of night’s horse in norse legend, while skinfaxi (the name of sisu’s horse) was the name of day’s horse. “hrim” means “frost”, and “faxi” means “mane”. for some reason, there’s also a sun god with two horses, arvakr and allsvin. i chose “arvakr” for simo’s horse because it means something along the lines of “early waker”, i believe, which corresponds better to the idea of dawn.

WELL

In the people's defense, I have to say that Mr. Sindri didn't manage to finish his sentence, so all we got was Hrimfa-
But that doesn't help matters at aaalll. XD
I guess I just WISH Sindri would go back to his former gorgeous glory before the comic ends. Please? Pretty Please? He kind of looks like a Troll. (no offense to the real trolls)

Congrats on the 900! I bet it'll grow to 1000 soon. Love the update. A lot's finally explained. I was slower to piece things together than others. I only realized that when I found out that Sindri was banished. I must be more vigilant to catch these little things lol.

ahhh! that's the word? i cant believe it i was looking right at it aghhhh

but oh man sindri's her hubby! i was wondering how they met!

sooooooo, he wont let her free till she helps him get out of the cave thingy, but she's still obliged to feed him or he'll strangle her footsie off. does he ever try to have her do his dirty work for him? or does it just stick to simple wifey duties such as throwing a cauldron full of spiked soup in his cave once a decade or so?

I love, love, loooove Hemlock and your art! How long does it take? I mean, to make a page. I saw at your DeviantART that you do it first with inks and only and grays and the text on the computer. How log does this process take per page?

Hello, dear author.
Firstly, I want to tell you that your comic is great. I love your draw-style. It's unique and atmospheric.
Also clothes is complitely amazing. I really wish to have all the dresses in my wardrobe xD.
Besides, the folclore spirit in the story fascinates. So the comic has it's salt)

Well, that's how he cought her... I'm wondering what kind of prison he has. He just can't go out of his cave? Sindri doesn't look like he is very suffering. I mean, if he REALLY does, he would thought out another way to make Lumi free him. So...can he just enjoy torturing her (because he like her? a little? please? XD)?
Does Lumi avange Sindri for his lie and that's why doesn't help him? He hurts her so much T___T. Can't she just do what he want and be free after all?
P.S. I. NEED. A. PAIRING XD. That's why I started to ship these two even there are no feelings between them accept hatred but... Love/hate relationship, that's how I'm rolling. And hating XDD
P.S.S. will there be any love lines in the story? I really hope there will be one with the heroine)
P.S.S.S. Sorry for my english, I tried x)
And the last. Tristan os ADORABLE *O*!
